Hello,

I just applied the patch of Jens Prahm to rdesktop 1.1.0 and I am happy to
confirm, that my german keyboard now works fine with the "Alt Gr" keys
(@~\|) against my w2k server.

If now someone could get the *wheel mouse* to work with the appreciated
hints of
SeonKon Choi (MOUSE_FLAG_BUTTON4 and 5),
I would not know of any other problem. Version is absolutely usefull on my
Linux Thin Client.

Thanks a lot to all of you

Kai
